Renewing Oconee’s trash service arrangement

A decision looming for the Oconee County Council tomorrow night is a renewal of the county’s arrangement with a Georgia concern for the disposal of solid waste.  On the meeting agenda:  the approval of the hauling and disposal of waste with Waste Management / R&B Landfill, of Homer, Georgia for an amount to not exceed what’s approved in the county’s 2023-24 budget.  Council is being told that based on historical tonnage increases, the estimated amount of the contract for the next year is a minimum of 2.5 million tons.
